| "smooth as silk" | |
| Smooth as silk, slick as oil Sly as a fox, you're never true or loyal You're a rake, a bounder, a rascal, a cad Why, oh, why do I like my boys bad? You set your sights in that smoky room Helpless as a kitten, I sauntered your way You smiled, you laughed, enjoying my doom I couldn't resist that black hair touched with grey ::Refrain:: You put on airs; lived like a king I thought you were the man you pretended to be The bills came in; I paid everything A wink, a kiss, and a slap on the tush was your currency ::Refrain:: You stole my heart, and all of my rings You took my natural pearls but skipped the cultivated I should have known I'd lose all my things You wouldn't even breathe without being compensated ::Refrain:: ::Some noodling around:: ::Refrain:: Words and music Copyright November 2004 by Joanna Sandsmark | |
